No way is Smithies 18 + stone!!โBut when youโve got an 120 kilo prop sort of gouging at your face itโs not something we need in our game.

Clubb looks like hes trimmed up a bit in the off season to me. He was warming up right in front of me during the game and he looked leaner than I've ever seen him
I was too alarmed by Burgess to put him in comparison lol. That said, if your asking do I think Charnley is better that Budgie (2019 as its hard to judge on one game) the answer is yes.shaunedwardsfanclub wrote: โFri Jan 31, 2020 1:52 amWas he better or worse than Charnley?CheshireWarrior wrote: โFri Jan 31, 2020 12:11 amHe is a complete enigma Joe Burgess! For me he is the complete package for a winger (pace, strength, height, weight and ability to score)......but I believe we very rarely see it these days!
Fairenough he had injuries in 2019, but he doesn't help his case when he makes statements intending to improve in 2020 and appears to look similar to last season.
I know it's only one game in but I wonder if he is genuinely passionate anymore? If you look at Marshy in comparison, he is slightly slower, lighter and small in frame but his enthusiasm is SECOND TO NONE!
I thought Tony Clubb was really poor in 2019 in many areas and certainly not alone in the forwards! I actually thought the guy tried really well last night and wasn't poor. I do think he was struggling with fitness though and I think to be fair to him, being the wrong side of 30 and the injuries/surgery he has had over the years it really shows in his games at times.Blackpool_Pie wrote: โFri Jan 31, 2020 10:16 amClubb looks like hes trimmed up a bit in the off season to me.

I think Jackson Hastings put himself about well last night, I agree though at times we did look flat and unorganised. I do think Jackson would benefit from a 'recognised' standoff to partner him. Blake Austin for my money was superb yesterday, we need a good combination in the halves and for all his strengths its not Tommy.
